"Runes can no longer be downgraded, so pick them all up. You can stack them with Vessels." It's tips like these that make a guide stand out, compared to other guides that just say 'wear this and do that'. Great explanation of everything. I am guessing the build only starts to shine after ...

Mercenaries are getting stuck and lost all the time. Idk if this is due to this action delay because I haven't progressed into the endgame yet, but on normal they're nearly useless. They move so slowly and don't teleport to you once they're far behind. Before the patch (when they needed to cast thei...

Resists seem to be a problem, as by Act 3 you seem to take a lot of ele damage but you can't realibly make good resist gear until early Act 5 (Shenk drop & some gold stockpile for honorific). You need to rely on gems and low runes. Some classes have it easier, some have it harder. Barb carries l...

I recommend to level as poison throwbarb, as it does good damage without any gear and can spam his skill endlessly (low mana cost) 1 point stampede, max out the upgrade (to remove cooldown) Stampede left at 1 has decent aoe (it pierces) and costs almost no mana (a frequent issue with maxing main att...

It took a while to re-wire myself back into CLOD style of skill caps (by that I mean that you can max out a skill at pretty much any time, as long as you have enough skill points). I played median XL since 2008 and maximum base level was always dependent on clvl. In early game i just put 3 points in...

I will play Windform barbarian. Then a cold sorc. And then maybe something else.

I don't care whether these are S-tier game is a joke builds or not. Gonna test out things that changed the most.

I like the general skill progression rule and upgrades to skills as different skills (Grim Dawn style). The +1 skill / 6 levels and a whole bunch of +max skills from charms was an ancient mechanic, implemented in the earliest versions of this mod in 2006 or 2007. Eventually the amount of max skills ...

ouch, that hurts a bit. Freely downgrading regular runes was a thing for 13 years, ever since original Median XL 1.70 launched in late 2008. Pre-MXL it was required to have a certain number of Crafting Points equipped - they were found on gear and downgrading high runes required a lot of them. I gue...

Why make this so convoluted? You guys work at Blizzard on World of Warcraft development or something? Simply make the chests more worthwhile opening, because at the moment they are not. Doesn't have to be any specific chance at SU etc. Just make it drop useful items such as arcane shards, sometimes ...

I'll drop this one here, for those that are waiting for D2 Resurrected. This mod is the original Diablo II campaign re-imagined into Grim Dawn engine. Requires owning GD and its 2 expansions - advisable to just get GD Definitive Edition (v1.1.9.1) that contains it all. Does NOT require owning Diablo...
